I am using a Terk hdtvi antenna ($23, Very similar to the silver sensor plus 2 rather long extending poles for rabbit ear / VHF coverage) with a Hauppauge 950q ATSC tuner ($50).
I have 4 UHF and 4 VHF signals available at my address. I am currently receiving 7 of them located within 5 miles away. I am not receiving ABC, which is almost 20 miles away. It appears extraordinary to have so many VHF signals in my market, and sadly, PBS and ABC are both VHF, and my main 2 targets. ABC is the only broadcaster who has their tower located "out of town". There do not appear to be many good UHF/VHF combo antennas and the few standalone good VHF antennas are $100+.
Will I be able to easily receive ABC? How marginal is my current reception situation? Would I likely have success placing this antenna in the attic? It is extremely difficult to fine tune digital signals, as I have no clue if I am getting closer or farther away when I move the dipoles, extend them, change their angle, raise or lower the antenna, etc. With analog it is easy to see progress in tuning.
